Kai Cenat takes pride in giving back to the community, and one recent clip found him covering the cost of a pizza order for two young fans and their father after the children recognized him.
The heartwarming gesture went viral on social media and made it onto Rihanna’s radar earlier this week, who praised the streamer in a direct message on Monday (April 7).
“Kaaaaaiii!! I love this,” the Fenty mogul wrote to Kai. “I know you do this all the time, but the kidsss! And they genuinely love you! Great job all around man!”
Cenat was live streaming in his house when he read the message from RiRi showing him love on Instagram, which sent him into a frenzy. “Kai, I love this,” he repeated while bumping Rihanna’s “Diamonds.” “This is when I paid for the kids’ meal.” He also left an open invitation for Rih and A$AP Rocky to come join him for a stream in the future.
“Rihanna dead-a– just texted me, gang,” he said. “While on stream, gang. Now listen, RiRi, if you’re listening to this, all I gotta say is if you been thinking about hopping on a stream, let me know. You too, A$AP, too. A$AP done posted my video on Twitter before. The whole fam. God damn you, Ray J!”
A fan gave Cenat his flowers for connecting with Rihanna following his generosity: “Aaaah, that’s so epic!! Rihanna sliding into Kai’s DMs?? That’s a major flex! Kai’s living the dream right now!”
RiRi could slide into a stream with Cenat this summer when she stars in the upcoming Smurfs movie, which will hit theaters on July 18 and feature new music from the Grammy-winning singer.
Billboard has reached out to Rihanna’s reps for comment.
